Description
Search Photos can image process (or scan) the photos in your photos library for the purpose of finding a specific (lost) photo by using your search text. It uses Text Recognition software to find text in a photo. You can then search for text in your photos. You can also use Spotlight to search through your photos.
You can scan a selected time period (7 days, 30 days, 6 months etc.) or scan all your photos. Once a photo has been processed, you will not have to scan it again, so after a while you will have processed your complete photos library and it will be ready to be searched instantaneously.
Search Photos can extract the text from any photo and will allow you to copy the text. It will also detect links, phone numbers, calendar events etc. You can mark the found photo as a favourite, if you wish.
An extensive User Guide is included.
Search Photos integrates with Maps to show you the physical location where the photo has been taken.
You can also use Search Photos to scan an individual photo, a photo of a paper document or a screen shot.
The free edition is limited to five search results. After the In-App Purchase you will receive unlimited search results.
What’s New
Version 3.2
You can now limit your search results by adding words. Examples:
type Nixon+Kennedy to find a photo with text that contains both these presidents
type Nixon-Kennedy to find a photo with text that contains Nixon, but not Kennedy
type Nixon|Kennedy to find a photo with text that contains either Nixon or Kennedy
Secondly, you can also add a text (or tag) to photos which do not contain a text.
Ratings and Reviews
Decent
The search engine is pretty good out of the few I used but obviously not as good as Google Photos search.
Some missing features compared to Orga but I am using this since the search is somewhat better than that (found some photos that Orga missed).
Definitely has room for improvements. Updates are slow and few in between but I hope this improves soon.
